Systemic Trans- and Postoperative Evaluations of Patients Undergoing Dental Implant Surgery

Abstract

OBJECTIVE:The aims of this study were to examine the trans- and postoperative systemic characteristics of patients undergoing dental implant surgery and to investigate the relationship between pre- and post- surgery anxiety levels.MATERIAL AND METHODS:Thirty-nine patients were analyzed in 3 call centers to determine anxiety levels, pain levels, and preoperative and postoperative histories using the State–Trait (STAI) questionnaire.RESULTS:A total of 93 dental implants were installed, with a success rate of 100%. The most frequently reported systemic disease was hypertension. There was a significantly higher rate of effective clamping (torque) to the mandibular bone than to the maxillary bone. The association between postoperative surgical complications and longer operative time was not significant, but there was a significant correlation between the alteration of mouth opening and daily routine activities and a significant decrease in anxiety levels between the day of surgery and the postoperative time point (p=0.006).CONCLUSION:A longer surgical time was associated with surgery-related complications and with a higher anxiety index on the preoperative evaluation.

Systemic assessment of patients undergoing dental implant surgeries: A trans- and post-operative analysis

“…[ 18 ] and Goiato et al . [ 11 ] in their respective studies also found that appearance of symptoms occurs far frequently in surgeries of longer duration as compared to shorter surgeries. Swelling, hematoma formation, nausea, and hemorrhages were the common postoperative signs and symptoms observed in the present study [ Graph 7 ].…”

“…also observed similar findings in terms of predominant pattern of bone quality. [ 11 ] Lai et al . hypothesized that there exists a significantly higher chance of implant placement in these areas when compared with other low bone density areas.…”

“…Patients in the present study were periodically recalled after every 2 days of the surgery to note for the occurrence of any kind of symptoms such as nausea, bleeding, swelling, bruising, pain, and tenderness to rule out any immediate postoperative complication. State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) questionnaire[ 11 ] was filled by the patients on the surgery day, i.e., day zero, and after 1 week of surgery during follow-up. All the results were analyzed by SPSS software (SPSS-IBM Co., United States) with descriptive analysis.…”

“…In Brazilian population, score higher than 49 indicated high anxiety whereas a score of lower than 33 indicated less anxiety. [ 11 ] Kruskal–Wallis and Dunn's method were used to assess the level of significance ( P < 0.05; significant), and Spearman correlation test (strong: P > 0.8) was used to analyze the correlation of various postoperative activities.…”

Postoperative discomfort after implant placement according to the All‐on‐4 concept with or without Zygoma implants: A prospective clinical study

“…To minimize it and thus the postoperative discomfort of the patient, a minimally invasive procedure should be preferred (Arisan, Karabuda, & Ozdemir, ). Gentle surgical procedures will reduce postoperative pain and swelling in the same way as the routine of an experienced surgeon (Atalay, Ramazanoglu, Tozan, & Ozyuvaci, ; Cordaro, Torsello, Miuccio, Torresanto, & Eliopoulos, ; Goiato et al, ; Kim, Choi, Wang, & Kim, ; Wang, Wu, Tseng, & Chou, ). The pain intensity felt by the patient may be influenced by a number of parameters.…”
